    Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo Vs. Yasmin

    Super_RN replied to Newbie Nurse SMP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have been on Ortho Lo for months and HATE it! Everyone responds differently to BC pills so hopefully you will find one that works great for you! :)

    Super_RN replied to danu3's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sounds like he should see a doctor, which I'm sure everyone else will tell you as well. It could be many things. Tourette's Syndrome pops into my head though. Definitely should go get checked out....

    Super_RN replied to gthurma's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My mom was 40-years-old when she delivered my youngest brother, Sage. Her amniocentesis showed the baby to have Down's syndrome. We were shocked at first, but all accepted it. She knew there was no...

    Anyone wearing team logo scrubs?

    Super_RN replied to Celiabs's topic in General Nursing

    My team scrubs don't have Buckeyes everywhere. They are red and have an OSU emblem on the pocket. The pants have the same emblem near the waist, which you can't even see because my top covers it. I...

    Animosity between the shifts?

    Super_RN replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    Also, rotating shifts is not mandatory where I work, but we all pick up extra on different shifts. Maybe that is why we get along so well?! I don't go in because the supervisor asks me to, I go in...

    Animosity between the shifts?

    Super_RN replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed! A previous poster asked what I mean by distinct personality differences, this is one of them. I work in ICU, so I do sweat the small stuff, but not the miniscule things :) I think night...

    Your employer's policy re: *snow and ice*?

    Super_RN replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    If the roads are bad, the sheriffs department will come and pick us up to take us to work. Usually my boyfriend (if he's not at work) or my neighbor will take me to work. Then I can hitch a ride...

    assessment assistance dorsalis pedis

    Super_RN replied to Tiny1Nisolet's topic in General Nursing

    You've got good advice! Start out with light touching. This may sound simple, but don't use your thumbs. It's easier to mistake your pulses for the patients. Practice makes

    Super_RN replied to kazmomRN's topic in General Nursing

    3 Consecutive 12 Hour Shifts

    Super_RN replied to loconno2's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you are being unrealistic. 12 hour shifts are exhausting! I work 3 in a row sometimes but they are usually followed by 5 or 6 days off. I have worked 4 in a row before and that...

    Super_RN replied to merae's topic in General Nursing

    By all means, I agree with you. I definitely can't expect them to completely fill in for me but there are a couple who come to the floor maybe once and then hide in a corner. Hey, as long as they're...

    Too busy for break?

    Super_RN replied to merae's topic in General Nursing

    I would also like to mention that when our supervisors come to relieve us for breaks (not all of them are like this) they sit at the desk and wouldn't know what to do if they had to do something. So,...

    Too busy for break?

    Super_RN replied to merae's topic in General Nursing

    That tends to happen. At least the shift flies by, usually. Unless it's one of those shifts where it is extremely hectic and time drags

    Super_RN replied to lmhester's topic in General Nursing

    That's somewhat of a tough question. Hmmm...I will have to say knowing between right and wrong. Being aware of others in a relationship is important too, but being able to make decisions based on...
